Second-hand Dealers (Fees) Determination 2013 (No 2) 

Disallowable instrument DI2013-296
made under the
Second-hand Dealers Act 1906, s 17 (Determination of fees and charges)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The fee determination sets fees for second-hand dealers.  The determination replicates the Second-hand Dealers (Fees) Determination 2013 that it revokes and replaces.  The only changes are that the new fee determination provides that fees can be paid annually and provides for a three year licence fee. 

The changes to the fee determination follow the commencement on 22 August 2013 of the Justice and Community Safety Legislation (Red Tape Reduction No 1 – Licence Periods) Amendment Act 2013.  The Act provides for the issue of licences of up to three years for second-hand dealers.  

Under the determination a fee for a three year licence is three times the annual fee.  For example the fee for a three year licence under item 62 of the existing fee determination is $390 which is three times the annual fee of $130.  

Applicants will be able to elect to apply for either a one or a three year licence or for a licence that is shorter than a year. 

The instrument also provides that fees can be paid annually.
